Core Information Elements of aProduct Tracing System
Core Elements in Effective Systems
• Systems concept critical– Modifications without a standardized system
will not significantly improve traceability
• System should be:– Standardized– Required of all entities in the supply chain– Electronic
Core Elements in Effective Systems
Traceability should identify the,– Who– What – When– Where– How
of product creation and movement
Core Elements in Effective Systems
• An effectively designed system will protect public health by facilitating:– The identification of a vehicle during a
traceback investigation• Triangulation of plausible exposures in an outbreak
– Quick and efficient identification of all product(s) involved in a recall during a traceforward investigation
Core Elements in Effective Systems
• Lot Coding– A form of lot coding for all
food– Where feasible, lot code
should appear on consumer unit
– “Lot” defined by grower, manufacturer, etc., but should be small enough to facilitate effective identification and recall of product

Core Elements in Effective Systems
• Standardization– Links data across the supply chain– Allows maintenance of current “One Up / One
Down” system– Exists today and is in use by industry
• Human and machine readable• GS1 • Application Identifiers
– Does not “reinvent-the-wheel”

Querying CTID shows that GTIN3 was manufactured
at GLN1 and further investigation shows the source as contaminated
raw ingredients.
Critical Tracking Events:
– Must be unique
– Identified on invoices or via EDI
– “Key” to link other tracing data
• i.e. GS1 standards
– Allows trading partners to maintain “One-Step” traceability
